waste – Homescale designs for plastic incinerators? – GWC Mag

I’m under the impression that it’s better to burn the plastic and maybe get a bit of energy from it than disposing it somewhere only for it to deteriorate into many microplastic particles.

That said, I no longer believe in industrial scale solutions designed to deal with metric tons of waste that need to be mass transported by trucks.

I’m aware that plastic can’t be just thrown to a campfire for it to burn completely to carbon dioxide without leaving both solid residues or uncombusted gases. Are there attempts to build small scale (home) incinerators which would be able to burn them thoroughly?

Any links to a paper or a final product is welcome.
